Values for the Term

Values are things we believe in that help us to make decisions about how to behave. They are the principles that guide our lives. Some commonly held values include thoughtfulness, respect, trust, love, friendship, courage etc.  There are lots more values and many overlap.

Some values are quite tricky to understand and difficult to do every day; others are easier to spot and simpler to do.

At Colebrook, we look at values in detail so that we all have the words to describe them to each other and know how to spot them in ourselves and in others.

It's not just children who need to learn about values, adults have to think about them too and sometimes need to remind themselves to slow down and think about what is really important to them. Teachers at Colebrook Junior School will be trying to live the values at the same time as the children: that way we can all learn together.

Understanding values will help you to make difficult decisions throughout your life.
